    Abstract: A method of counting target salivary miRNAs related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) includes the steps of binding the miRNAs to padlock probes specific to each miRNA forming a hybridized complex for each miRNA, ligating the hybridized complex forming a closed circular structure, elongating the hybridized complex producing an elongated ssDNA amplicon via rolling circle amplification (RCA) elongation, measuring the concentration of elongated ssDNA amplicon according to a translocation event rate using a solid-state pore structure with a diameter greater than 10 nm, and determining initial concentrations of miRNAs based on the quantity of the initial miRNA molecule which is linear with the concentration of elongated ssDNA amplicon.

    Abstract: A system may be introduced for detecting biomarkers in a sweat sample. The system may include a skin patch and a fluorescence detector. The skin patch may include an adhesive tape with a central hole. The skin patch may further include a fluorescence sensor removably attached on the adhesive tape. The skin patch may further include at least one cotton thread. The fluorescence detector may include a light-tight chamber. The fluorescence detector may further include a sample holder removably disposed within the light-tight chamber. The fluorescence detector may further include at least one UV-LED light source may be positioned above the sample holder. The fluorescence detector may further include at least a light filter may be disposed within the light-tight chamber above the UV-LED light source. The fluorescence detector may further include an image capturing device may be disposed within the light-tight chamber.
